Random 2D nanowire networks: Finite-size effect and the effect of busbar/nanowire contact resistance on their electrical conductivity [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physics, Vol.132, Iss. 12, 125105 (2022), 2022 We have studied the resistance of two-dimensional random percolating networks of zero-width metallic nanowires (rings or sticks). We toke into account the nanowire resistance per unit length, the junction (nanowire/nanowire contact) resistance, and the busbar/nanowire contact resistance.

Cefazolin versus anti-staphylococcal penicillins for treatment of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia: a narrative review [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, Wiley, 2017, 2017 Anti-staphylococcal penicillins (ASPs) are recommended as first-line agents in methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteraemia. Concerns about their safety profile have contributed to the increased use of cefazolin. The comparative clinical effectiveness and safety profile of cefazolin versus ASPs for such infections remain unclear ...

The challenge of de‐labeling penicillin allergy
Allergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2020 Even though 8%‐25% of most populations studied globally are labeled as penicillin allergic, most diagnoses of penicillin allergy are made in childhood and relate to events that are either not allergic in nature, are low risk for immediate ...

Genetic basis of penicillin resistance of S. aureus isolated in bovine mastitis
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2012 BackgroundThe blaZ gene encoding penicillin resistance can be located either chromosomally or on plasmids. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic relationships and to determine the location of the blaZ gene in S.
